about

This collection is the culmination of our first phase as a band: the three years from when Hannah first encountered kroncong groups in Java while studying under a Darmasiswa scholarship, to the time of our full-band residency in Bandung. As we release it, Andy is already in Bali on another round of field research on music in community, while the rest of us are preparing to fly to Bandung, after which Hannah, Natalie, and puppeteer Edward Breitner will stay on for another year of intensive study: Hannah pursuing a Fulbright scholarship on kroncong, Natalie a Darmasiswa on gamelan, and Edward a Darmasiswa on wayang (shadow theater).

Proud as we are of this work, we know we have barely touched the depths of this beloved music of Indonesia. Stay tuned for our next phase!

We offer this album as a free gift to all our fans, friends, and family. However, bandcamp only allows us 200 free downloads per month. So if you see a price for downloads above, that means we’ve maxed out for the month. Try again a few days later!

Special thanks to our teachers: Danis Sugiyanto, Peni Candrarini, and Stefanus Suprityanto, OK IBLIS, and OK Semar Mesem.
